Let's divide 272901 by 54
Let's see how many times 54 fits into 272901.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 54

On to step 2:
The number 54 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 54

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 272 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 270 from 272 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 54

On to step 4:
29 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 290 / 54

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 290 by 54, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 505.0
If we subtract 270 from 290, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 201 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 201 by 54, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5053.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 162 from 201.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 54 fits into 390 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5053.7
If we subtract 378 from 390, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
54 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5053.72
Subtract 108 from 120 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 54 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5053.722
If we subtract 108 from 120, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5053.722 with a balance of 0.0012.
